Cheesy Mini Pizza Sliders Recipe-Here’s a recipe for Cheesy Mini Pizza Sliders, perfect for parties or snack time!
Ingredients:
- 12 slider rolls (Hawaiian rolls or any soft dinner rolls)
- 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni slices, cut in quarters)
- ½ cup cooked sausage crumbles (optional)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or use a casserole dish for the sliders.
- Prepare Slider Rolls:
- Without separating the slider rolls, slice them in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer. Place the bottom half into your baking dish.
- Add Sauce & Toppings:
- Spread a generous layer of pizza sauce over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Add mini pepperoni, sausage crumbles (if using), or any other toppings of choice.
- Top with Rolls:
- Place the top half of the slider rolls back on top of the cheese and toppings.
- Make Butter Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
- Brush with Butter Mixture:
- Generously brush the tops of the slider rolls with the butter mixture.
- Bake:
- Cover the sliders with foil and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve:
- Let the sliders cool slightly, then cut them apart. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired, and serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Enjoy your Cheesy Mini Pizza Sliders!
